[Mutants + X-Mansion Residents + Friends of Jean & Scott]

Scott and I are leaving tomorrow for Europe. If you see him looking a little put-out tonight it's because I already packed his bag and I'm hiding it until we go. We'll be back on the 30th probably. If you need us while we're gone, Warren can get in touch with us. I'm available for hugs for the next three hours. Please don't burn the mansion down - or if you do, rebuild it.

	Absolutely, Violet. You'll take care of yourself while we're gone, I hope? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Do you already have travel plans for getting there? (Reply to this) (Thread)

	We do, yes. I've been planning this for more than a month. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	You know you're wasting money, right? Then again, I've had too much experience as Scott Summers personal travel service, so... (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I do, but it's all part of my master plan. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Are you really bragging about going on holiday with your husband when Rogue's just lost hers? Are you completely heartless? (Reply to this) (Thread)

	Re: betsy/jean. anatombomb 2017-09-17 05:29 pm UTC (link)
	No, I'm not. I've been planning this for his birthday for a month, and she knew about it. I'm letting everyone know we're leaving. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	betsy/jean. butterflyeffect 2017-09-17 05:33 pm UTC (link)
	I realise that you don't care much outside of your immediate circle, but there were better ways of wording this. It's flippant and careless. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: betsy/jean. anatombomb 2017-09-17 05:35 pm UTC (link)
	...You're right. I didn't intend it to be. I haven't been in a good place since my daughter disappeared. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	betsy/jean. butterflyeffect 2017-09-17 05:37 pm UTC (link)
	I know that you need this as much as you want to celebrate his birthday, and I am sorry for that. Rogue is almost to the point of cracking. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	betsy/jean. anatombomb 2017-09-17 05:59 pm UTC (link)
	She's not the only one. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	betsy/jean. butterflyeffect 2017-09-17 06:01 pm UTC (link)
	Not to be rude, Jean, but your daughter is still your daughter back home. She could come back and still know who you are. Erik is effectively dead, and even if that particular version comes back, he will not be the Erik that Rogue fell in love with and had a child with. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

That doesn't mean she will.

~~So many of us are~~ I know, Betsy. But I'm tired, and I don't know what to do for her. I wish I could help her right now, I do, but I can barely help myself and you know she'd be the first to say that I wouldn't be of any use to her or anyone else. Our friendship was cracked months ago, and you'd be better for her than me. I hope you can help her.

	betsy/jean. butterflyeffect 2017-09-17 06:29 pm UTC (link)
	Perhaps not, but it's possible. She's been here multiple times. Are you? Because no one has heard a thing about this. It's hard to help you if no one knows what's going on with you. ~~The martyr compl~~ (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	betsy/jean. anatombomb 2017-09-17 06:37 pm UTC (link)
	I'm sorry it hasn't been obvious that I'm hurting ~~when I haven't exactly been hidi~~ and that I haven't wanted to talk about it when others, like Rogue, are hurting. I'm dealing privately rather than reach out, since unless they ask I don't want to put it on someone else's shoulders. Help Rogue. I'll see you when we come back. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	betsy/jean. butterflyeffect 2017-09-17 07:03 pm UTC (link)
	I'm just going to say this is a load of bollocks. You close yourself off, then get upset when no one else notices that you're shouldering a burden. Whether or not we want to have something "put" on our shoulders is a decision that the rest of us should be able to make. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: betsy/jean. anatombomb 2017-09-17 07:04 pm UTC (link)
	I'm not upset, Betsy. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	You just told me you were not the only one about to crack. You're not upset? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
